Zhang Shuo took the lead in answering the question, saying that the big shot put first landed with the small one and then landed with the small one.
Then he wrote a letter to comment on the selection of Hebei fortifications and the candidates for the border officials, and proposed a compromise.
Xue Chongxun suddenly realized that the ministers regarded the shot put as a riddle and thought too much.
Just such a small question, can they think of the border guards?Xue Chongxun thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how they thought about it... Is there anything wrong with this?
So he ordered Zhang to find someone to go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for an experiment. He himself did not plan to go there. He really had no interest in reading such common sense things.
There may be an influence of air resistance, but the density of the shot put itself is negligible.
But others found it new. The imperial edict made it possible to throw two lead lumps down from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and even the boring things became interesting.
Several scholars and prime ministers also wanted to see it, but they also felt that the ceremonial guards of first-rank officials were too eye-catching, so they asked a man to go out of the palace to go out of the palace to handle it, while Zhang Shuo and others changed into regular clothes and acted in a low-key manner.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, outside the main entrance of Ci'en Temple. It was first built by Emperor Gaozong of Tang to use the Buddhist scriptures to Master Xuanzang who returned from obtaining scriptures in the West. It is five floors high.
Later, during the reign of Wu Zetian, the seven-story blue brick tower was rebuilt, becoming a prominent building in Chang'an.
The south of the city is already sparsely populated, and Fu Temple is not very popular on weekdays. Today, many people suddenly came, attracting citizens and passers-by to watch.
Later, people saw a large group of people blocking under the Yanta and asked what happened. Some people said they were the new Jinshi and the Yanta title, while others said contemptuously: Is it time to take the Jinshi exam?
Where did the new Jinshi come from?
The title of the Yan Pagoda in discussion is really this place. As the saying goes, Qujiang Liuyin and Yan Pagoda are already deeply rooted in people's hearts.
As early as the Shenlong period of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty, the title of Yan Pagoda had already formed a custom.
Any new Jinshi who passed the imperial examination must first attend a state banquet in Qujiang and Xingyuan, then climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and engrave the title of the Pagoda Wall for souvenirs.
The new Jinshi were filled with joy of the spring breeze and regarded the title of the Yan Pagoda as a great honor, so that the four walls of the tower courtyard and the cottage were all titled by the ministers.
No wonder the civilians in the city first thought of the elegant things of the Jinshi when they saw this lively.
But after counting, where did you get the new Jinshi now? The time is wrong.
People did not reduce their enthusiasm because of this. Onlookers were a great pleasure for the people. Some even closed the store and came to join in the fun, and they didn't even know what they were doing here...
At this moment, a greasy young man yelled proudly: I know what the government is going to do!
He shouted out and attracted the attention of people around him. Someone who knew him immediately laughed and said: Butcher Wen is half omniscient in heaven and earth.
When the people around him saw him in such a sloppy image, they burst into laughter. Some people who didn't know this person only found it strange. The butcher also added a text in front of it. How could the two words "The Bull Head is incorrect" be added to the nickname?
It turned out that this young man who killed pigs was actually of some origin, his surname was Long and his name was Tao.
The Long family was originally a wealthy household in Qizhou. The butcher of literature has been studying and literate since he was a child. His parents hoped that he would take the imperial examination and enter the official career.
Unexpectedly, a major earthquake occurred in one year, and the officials and civilians in Qizhou were killed and injured. The whole family of Butcher Wen was buried under the ruins. He himself was lucky to be dug out and not dead after arriving day and night to rescue the disaster.
However, the foundation of the family was destroyed overnight, but the butcher Wen had no life and was not in production, and his livelihood became a problem. Finally, he contacted a relative in a room, but a commoner who opened a butcher shop in Chang'an.
There is always a place to settle down, and he didn't bother to pick and choose, so he had to come to Chang'an to surrender.
Now his dream of becoming an official was completely shattered. In fact, like the Long family, there is a relationship with a family background but no gentry or official figures, and no one is instructed to do so in terms of literary talent, he has little hope of getting a Jinshi. Perhaps he can still think of ways through economic means, but after he defects to his relatives, he really has no way out.
What does a family that kills pigs and sells meat use to make friends with court officials and famous scholars?
Moreover, my relatives soon stopped liking this person. He was young and could not do anything. He could only fight cocks and play games except to read some words. What's the use of having no money?
This guy also has a bad habit, it's easy to bet on.
Such people are often rolled in eating and drinking at relatives' houses.
Wen Butcher is also a person who knows the current affairs, and finally gradually learns to make a living and helps kill pigs in the butcher shop.
Because he was so bragging and showing off his words, he was nicknamed "Wen Butcher" by his neighbors, which was very appropriate.
Others laughed at him for being omniscient in heaven and earth. He had long been used to it and was still angry. He still said with a smile: Don’t believe it. It happened that there was a friend in the government office. I’ve asked for it.
A young man with cross-eyed eyes in the brocade clothes laughed like a duck screaming and said: Huo?My friends in the government are so amazing. Why didn’t you get in to be an official? If you can’t be a foreign official, you’re better than killing a pig!Aren't you dreaming of becoming an official all day long?
Butcher Wen felt embarrassed, but his smile came back soon, but his smile was a little ugly: My friend is also a foreign official, how could he easily stuff people in?Just don't believe it.
But the others next to him couldn't help but be curious, grabbed him and asked him what was going on, and whispered a few words.
The butcher seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now, and boasted again: There is not a new Jinshi on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but an official. They have to throw two shot puts off from it.Ah, why do you want to do this?This is about when I asked the ministers one morning, one big and one small shot put fell from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, who first landed on the ground?The ministers said that the big ones should first land, but the emperor said that they should land together.Didn’t you just send someone to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to try it?
Ha ha!
The young man Jinyi looked at Butcher Wen and shook his head to express his disbelief, but his eyes did not seem to look at someone, but a stone behind him.
If there is such a funny thing, I will... As soon as I said this, I saw two Xu soldiers holding shot puts appearing on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, looking down.
The young man Jinyi was stunned and stopped talking, but fortunately he didn't say the second half.
Wen Butcher Wen said proudly: How about it?If there is such a thing, what will you do?
The young man Jinyi didn't know how to take a word, so he was squeezed by the crowd coming from the front.
It turned out that the guards in the South Yamen below the tower were driving away the onlookers and forming a circle. A general shouted loudly: Everyone stands for me, if you want your head to be smashed, just squeeze it here!
The citizens moved back a distance before they stood firm. The Butcher Wen drew a circle on the ground without saying a word, writing a big word while writing a word of the same word, shouting: This is the same, and the bet is on the ground at the same time. Only the bet in the casino is not the same word, so don't not know it.Bet, and it will be too late if you throw the ball from above!
This bet is not small, obviously no one thinks that the small shot put will hit the ground first.Others laughed and said: Why are you gambled on this?The heavy one must have landed first, and the fool will bet the same word!
The butcher Wen smiled and said: OK, I will approve the same word.After saying that, he took out a silver coin weighing two cents and threw it into the circle.
Before the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there was a shortage of copper coins in circulation, and textiles such as silk and silk became general equivalents instead of currency.
Later, Xue Chongxun implemented the money method, which not only increased the casting of copper coins, but also printed blue coins and minted silver coins to supplement the currency.
A silver coin weighs two coins, which is equivalent to the value of two hundred copper coins; a blue coin is the same as a face value of one thousand documents.
These currencies can be used to pay taxes and purchase public food, textiles, salt and other materials, so they have been circulated unimpeded after a few years.
Cross-eyed and said: You are generous and give us money.But everyone bet big, and they won too little, it was meaningless.
Butcher Wen smiled and said: Think about it again, why do you have to land first if you are heavy?The emperor said that when he landed at the same time, he would definitely not be wrong. Come on, bet...
A person in a silk shop next to him said: This is not simple. Which one of the pieces of cloth or stone falls down?There is a difference between severity and importance.Another shouted: I'm going to lose the shot put!
Butcher Wen hurriedly shouted: Mazi, you guys climb up that tree and see clearly!
Finally, a few people supported him and put some copper coins on the big characters.
Seeing that the two servants who had stepped onto the shot put out and lifted it into the air, the civilians below all looked up at it with concentration. The scene was like a sudden appearance of a grey machine in the air and a Bodhisattva.
An official next to Xu Jian raised his hand and waved his hand and shouted: Let it go!
The two round lumps fell off their hands.
After a while, I heard a bang, and the two shots put only made a sound, hitting the ground almost at the same time, smashing a bluestone slab on the ground into several pieces.
Everyone was amazed for a while, butcher Wen laughed and without saying a word, he went to collect the copper coins in the circle and the silver coin he bet. Although he didn't win much with a small bet, winning money was a great pleasure for those who were good at gambling. Butcher Wen couldn't stop laughing.
Those who lost money didn't lose much and felt it didn't matter. They praised the butcher for his good knowledge. Anyway, they didn't take any effort to lift people with their sedan chairs.
The people on the street dispersed with satisfaction after seeing the show, and their satisfied expression seemed to have gained some great spiritual enjoyment.
But there are also people who have to wait until the officials leave before leaving, and they have to spend the last place here.
Butcher Wen smiled and said: I have told you a long time ago, and the emperor said that it would be impossible to make a mistake when I landed on the ground at the same time.Who is the son today?If a god comes out of the river to give him a treasure, that is the master of heaven, and he is omniscient in heaven and earth!
Someone took the opportunity to talk nonsense: No wonder on the day of the throne ceremony, I saw that the clouds in the sky changed into strange shapes, like a big dragon!
Butcher Wen was so happy that he boasted that he had no intention of leaving.
At this moment, a fat woman wearing a headscarf rushed over with anger: Why are you doing here... Can you bet on the ground even if you draw a circle?You might as well stop killing pigs, just bet on your life!
He crossed his eyes and said in a low voice: Let's go quickly, and the shrew's sister-in-law will start to splash, and you can't even open your eyes when you scold me.
Then he wrote a letter to comment on the selection of Hebei fortifications and the candidates for the border officials, and proposed a compromise.
Xue Chongxun suddenly realized that the ministers regarded the shot put as a riddle and thought too much.
